[nfb-db] newsline

Thanks for asking.

No, I cannot use Newsline. I have two major problems with it. With my hearing loss I use context a lot to figure out what is being said, and article titles/headlines have no context. My other problem is the speech speed -- it's too fast for me, and from what I can tell, it's really only adjustable in an article and in other limited situations. 

As a result, I use radio and TV news, which I have been able to understand since I got my two Cochlear Implants.

trying to find out if deafblind folks use newsline and how people are  
accessing that particular service. We want to find out how many people  
could usually use it effectively.thanks.
